Bane is secretly the biggest Batjokes shipper of all time.

[@ComicCrossing]

At the end it shoudlve been Harley Quinn who set up the whole scheme. That woudlve been a GREAT twist and be her trying to prove a point to Joker.

[@jamesgrinsen1085]

“Batman contracted a computer virus!” A year later, DCeased is published. He really can’t not get sick.

Lol at Ethan! "BANE?!?!?!?"

The perfect start to my afternoon! Thank you ComicPOP!!!

[@ahmedal-qabandi5223]

You said it perfectly buddy

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

...Why did Bane make it take place all across Europe, though? Were the airfare prices _that_ good? Did Bane figure that if his perfectly circuitous scheme didn't work out, he at least finally got to take that vacation?

[@TheGotenza]

Because Bane and Jim Lee took that vacation together in the early 2000’s

[@KB-zq9ny]

Kinda funny that Joker says "Batjoke! ugh!" Funny commentary on the batjokes pairing? I like the subtle fourth wall break there!

[@jaytheartman610]

Yeah that ship is so dumb

[@АндрейПетров-о4м]

@@jaytheartman610 nope

[@RecklessBucket2]

The ship isn't dumb, I think its just confusing. Most people just prefer to hate it because thats easier than actually look deep into their twisted relationships

[@GitShiddy]

Kinda weird that DC made a book about History lessons of Cities & it doesn't have Scott Snyder's name on it but, here we are. 😉 Oh and apparently Ben watched an episode of Criminal Minds, based on his hacker description.

[@merrymclaughlin923]

Sorry, I have been having something in the background so I might have missed some stuff, but I thought Banes motivation was that he was a big Bats & Joker shipper

[@Grievousish]

There's a burger restaurant in this small town where I used to spend all my summers and it was called Europa. I can't see this title without imagining Batman and Joker sitting in there eating a giant plate of fries.

[@PurpleColonel]

Bat Issues is the greatest name. Going to have to put off watching other episodes to watch this! I've been on a Back Issues marathon.

[@fynnthefox9078]

This is the closest we'll ever get to canon BatJokes.

[@bourder-vto8575]

*Batman telltale has entered the chat*

[@acheman8836]

Love this channel, especially the Bat-Issues as a huge Batman fan myself. Curious to know your thoughts on Robert Pattinson as our new Batman. I'm warming up to the idea.

[@jacquelinewelker9985]

Andy Castellanos i'd recommend watching Good Time anyone who's not sure about Pattinson as Batman. the guy's got range

[@acheman8836]

@@jacquelinewelker9985 I just saw 'Life' on Netflix and the guy is an amazing actor. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll see if they have that on there.

[@djcook3991]

@@acheman8836 no we have to keep giving him crap and also keep mentioning twilight. If we talk about how bad it will be all the time then it will end up being absolutely amazing. Just as long as the script doesn't suck he could be batman for a decade

[@flywheelshyster]

David Cronenberg cast him as his lead in Cosmopolis, and Cronenberg doesn't cast no hack. Actually haven't seen it, on my list as its the only cronenberg film I haven't seen

[@freebatman4everyone]

Great choice! Btw, I hate how Bane gets so much shit but keep in mind he lived all his life in the worst prison ever! When he beats Batman he foolishly thinks he owns Gotham because that's how Pēna Dura worked. Beat the alpha and you own the place.

[@g-mandacomicfan350]

A new episode of Bat Issues and Sal is wearing a Spider-man shirt 😂🤣 I love this series!

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

Europa seems dope, and all the art shown is beautiful! I gotta pick it up

[@andrewlewis2123]

When I saw the video title and comic title, I was kinda hoping that this’d be a story about Batman and Joker being stranded on the moon Europa, and having to work together to escape. But still sounds like a solid story!

[@alexandersmith7061]

If joker goes to Paris, he totally dresses up in his mine outfit like in Batman 89

[@haasztamas]

Loved this episode! The art is gorgeous, the story is actually pretty good (except for the out of left field Baaaaane inclusion) and you guys were as humorous and funny as always! PS.: In Hungarian we actually call Europe Europa

[@frozenwing123]

Ethan's reaction to the reveal was awesome lol

[@lyndoncunningham8688]

I’d pay for an animated movie of this! Hahaha joker’s Vacation is an amazing idea.

[@Evyscreations]

"He's making a Trogdor joke." ... OHHHHHH

[@kordelshorgar122]

17:07 that was so funny jajajaja you actually found that clip 37:00 that's my new ringtone... or something

[@Hellsing7747]

In the Thumbnail, It seems like the joker is about to grab Batman "D". What a perv !

[@JudgeDredd35]

04:33 I would love to see you guys do an episode on Batman: Digital Justice! Just to see Ben and Ethan's reactions!

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

#BatmanDigitalJustice

[@Chenso2099]

Batman: Digital Justice sounds like a story about Batman combating Cyber Bullying.

[@JudgeDredd35]

@@Chenso2099 in a way it is lol. It's not a great story, but the bad books always make for the funniest episodes!

[@Chenso2099]

JudgeDredd35 True, man. The title already sounds silly enough, so I can’t wait to see what else it has in store. C’mon, do it, Sal!

[@Wouter2312]

Belgian speaking, 'Europa' is how we say Europe. Don't know about the other languages, i would guess that german is the same.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

or he goes to Paris they ignore him and think he's a joke and he goes along with it for a time while hes plotting. There are many european villains and heros that i would love to see since we don't see them.

[@treelover420xx]

They got this at Ollie's for 5 bucks was about to pick it up today but put it back

[@jonathanshaw9704]

Ethan would be surprise how many Joker Cults there are in the comics. Also, Ethan, Spider-Man, ASAP!

[@jimmysisk4124]

If you think about it Trojan Horse actually ties it back to Rome as well. While Rome absorbed Greece, Romans took their ties from Troy. In fact the fabled founder of Rome was a Trojan soldier who survived the sacking of Troy. *Look up The Aeneid

[@deazy6453]

How did i miss this? BAT ISSUES! YES!

[@batfreeze56]

Hey, gang! Thanks for another great video. I've noticed that Bat Issues is mainly used to tell lesser known Batman stories, now that you've done most of the biggest Batman stories on Back Issues. With that being said, would you ever consider doing Batman: Anarky by Alan Grant? It's seriously one of my favorite Batman stories, and one that I think a lot more people should know about, especially the Population.

[@Chriz1012]

Another great Bat issues! Keep up the good work guys!

[@TupocalypseShakur]

Now we know that "cunning lingus" is not true

[@Manticorn]

Linguist

[@NilFox]

Sal. Start that video game stream channel, we need to see you guys playing all these dope superhero games. Definitely get Ben and Ethan over there as well. Hulk Ultimate Destruction Spider-Man (Ultimate and the New one) (And you should really do ultimate since you guys have done a few issues of it on Back Issues) All the new generation Batman games Anyway keep up the hilarious work, you guys are one of my favorite comic channels and I plan to watch for a long time. P.S. As two more comic (and or kinda superhero themed) video games you can also do, both Infamous and Prototype. They are both known to be inspired by comics and Infamous tells its story with comicesque visuals.

[@Zombiebait90]

The Trogdor reference is unappreciated.

[@williamgazca6641]

Does every artist on the planet hate the Weyland Jones design from Batman the animated series?( Best /favorite version of the character) why make a giant dragon man? 😦

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

Could not agree more! I loved Killer Crocs design in Arkham Origins where he just looks like a large built man with a skin disease

[@Martin_TheCollector]

Excellent stuff! This book has fantastic art, always enjoy that in any comic book, besides the writing being at least good of course.

[@cjhall4406]

Great reveal forgot about this one 😂 Ethan saying what the audience is thinking 🤔

[@FatSnorlax]

Ah yes ye olde robots! A common feature of European capitals XD

[@jaimepanamenojr.8245]

37:00

[@yenachomps4660]

The whole batmask thing has bothered me, because if his whole shtick is to try and instill fear in evildoers...Wouldn't he WANT to have a full mask so that he'd have the appearance of a monster? A guy in a bat costume isn't really...Scary. Not to mention having only the lower half of his face revealed gives him an obvious weak point to aim for, and all that. But whatever; Batman is so Batman that it's impossible to uppercut him I guess.

[@dennisssmith430]

Yay! A Trogdor joke! TROGDORRRRRR!!!

[@thenoveltynotebook]

What a fun story!!! And the art is 👌👌👌👌👌

Love you guys n ur videos still need captions please! PLEASE! Thank you!

[@architeuthis3476]

I remember that Levi's commercial. It didn't make sense to mee and it still doesn't. But yeah, I bought _Europa_ for a $1 because it was missing a dust jacket. I loved the art but the story was disappointing. It was worth $1 though.

[@angelusdemorte3]

wow... this thing was going so well until Caesar Bane...

[@InfernoDelta12]

I was just starting elementary school when this was announced and I was starting high school when it came out.

Dang I’ll have to read this one asap. Always like to read the stuff I’m interested in before watching you guys talk about them 🤓

[@anthonylynch423]

Love these bat-issues! Thanks comic pop for always providing us amazing content. Hope to one day meet all of you all. But unfortunately I’m in Tennessee not a hot spot for comics lol

So glad to see this one. I actually had it on my list of things to get for the channel eventually, but someone else must have beat me to it.

[@orafletcher8963]

Yay BAT-ISSUES IS BACK ^-^

[@Cubelarooso]

Why did Batman just let Joker run loose? Even if he needed Joker's information, I'd think he'd keep him in iron chains.

Hey guys thanks for the video. Quick question: Since there are mixed reviews about this book, is it worth to have it in HC/Deluxe format or the TP would be just fine? What do you think?

[@comicpop]

The art is pretty great, but I think trade should be fine.
